Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 15:17-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 15 in context

Scripture Focus

17I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

18Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

Jeremiah 15:17-18

Biblical Context

Jeremiah describes sitting alone in indignation, separated from others by God’s hand. He laments a pain that seems perpetual and a wound that resists healing, wondering if God will prove faithful.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's frame, the mockers' assembly is the chorus of fear; you sit with the I AM, the awareness that sustains every scene. The hand of God is the inner movement that shifts consciousness, and indignation is the purification of old beliefs. The persistent pain and 'incurable' wound are not enemies but signals of a transition from a limited self to a higher state. To fear that God will betray you is to mistake fear's voice for truth; the essential truth is that you are the I AM—the healer and the ground of being. Healing is an immediate act of revision: you assume the state of wholeness, declare your love and completeness, and feel that reality take hold now. When you hold this inward truth, the old view of pain loosens, and the inner waters become a sustaining stream of life that never fails.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, rest in the awareness I AM. Revise the scene by imagining the wound healed, the pain dissolving, and the inner waters of truth flowing freely through you.
